Martha Coakley got a first-hand lesson about what it is like to be a victim the week before she took the oath as the new state attorney general.

Rushing to leave for a ski trip before taking office, Coakley got a phone message at home from Dell computers early last week to confirm a $1,200 purchase on her Visa card. The order was about to be shipped to an address in Texas.
